Re: [sig-policy] Requests from routing/packeting concerns
Izumi,
For what it's worth, ARIN has accepted and is adopting a suggestion to
add a "whowas" service:
https://www.arin.net/participate/acsp/suggestions/2008-15.html
Right now it's a manual process via e-mail to hostmaster at arin dot net.
Sometime this year they plan to make it into a system you can query
online, like whois.
So I don't think this is a need that's limited to Japan.

Paul,
Thanks for the response from APNIC.
I understand this is something that requires some considerations and
change in the way APNIC provides data to the community.
It's difficult for me to see if the needs are specific to Japan or can
be commonly share as the region, so I'd be interested to hear what the
others say in Manila too.

thanks for this too.
I'll share it on JANOG ML, etc.
Could APNIC also consider providing public record of past resource
holders?
APNIC does retain a full transaction log of registry and whois updates,
though this is not publicly accessible at the moment, nor is there an
available query mechanism.
If the membership or wider community concludes that this service should be
provided, then of course we would be able to develop and deploy it. I
would expect that the appropriate mechanism would be through an extension
to the current whois service (affecting both the database and query
facilities), however that may be open to some discussion.
I'd be interested to hear any feedback or discussion during the meeting
next week in Manila. Even without a policy proposal, I think an informal
poll of the meeting would provide useful guidance for action.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Paul.
This was requested to help in consideration to purchase space (make sure
it's not been used by black-listed ISPs), and to help in sorting out
filtering problems (explain to peers/upstream).
The general feeling was that you have to do the actual testing + be
responsible yourself at the end of the day, but information about past
holders would still help.
Would this be something other operators in the region also find it useful?
